Huanuo’s inexpensive monitor arms aren’t quite as nice as the high end models, but they’re surprisingly good given how affordable they are, and they’re even cheaper today with promo codes.

You wouldn’t think that a seek bar for videos would warrant a post in this day and age. You would expect that functionality to be present from the get go since it makes sense on a platform that hosts videos. While videos make up a significant chunk of content on Instagram, the Facebook-owned company has only just started testing a seek bar for video.
Something as simple as a seek bar can change the entire user experience. There’s no way for you to go back to a specific point in a video on Instagram without having to watch the entire thing again. Similarly, you can’t skip ahead if something at that particular instance doesn’t really capture your attention.
Developer Jane Manchun Wong, known for digging into apps and finding out what new features are being developed, has now found that a seek bar is indeed being tested for the Instagram app. It works as you would expect a seek bar to function with a countdown showing up in the top right corner to show how much time has elapsed in the video.
It remains to be seen when this much needed feature will be rolled out to all users. Given that it’s being tested in the Instagram beta right now, it may arrive sooner rather than later.

Spotify only really provides two subscription plans for people willing to pay for its Premium service. There’s the single subscription for one person and the family plan for multiple and both of them are billed monthly. The company added more granular plans when it launched the service in India recently and is now offering another subscription plan in select markets. The Spotify Duo plan is better suited to couples who would both like access to the Premium service.
Spotify Duo is tailored for two users and is priced at the midpoint between the single and the family tiers. It’s obviously cheaper if both people subscribe to Spotify individually. It also offers savings for those who are paying for a family account even though there are only two people using it.
Spotify is currently offering the Duo plan in Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ireland, and Poland. Prices in each country vary but they’re in the range of €12 in the EU markets. The company hasn’t said when this new tier will be offered in additional markets, particularly markets like the United States.
Those who subscribe to the tiers will also get a new feature called Duo Mix. It’s a playlist that’s populated based on the listening habits of both users.

Posted in: Today's Chili
Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and Huawei’s Mate X represent two opposing viewpoints in foldable phone design.

YouTube TV, the online streaming giant’s very own standalone TV streaming service, has now completed its rollout in the United States. The company announced today that it’s service is now available in every U.S. TV market. Glendive, Montana area was the final TV market in the country where the service was not available and that is no longer the case.
The company confirmed through its official Twitter account today that with Glendive, Montana getting YouTube TV as well, the service’s rollout across the United States has now been officially completed. “YouTube TV is available in every television market in the U.S.,” it said.
YouTube announced back in January this year that the over-the-top streaming service was available in 195 markets across the country. With today’s announcement, it’s confirmed to be available in all 210 television markets in the country. However, the service will vary depending on the market.
Some areas will not offer all four major local networks that are available on YouTube. Fox, NBC, ABC, and CBS are the four major networks available on the service. Those who are interested in subscribing should check with their ZIP code on the YouTube TV website to see what’s the availability live in their particular market.

WOW Air, a relatively small low-cost airline operating out of Iceland, folded with little warning this morning, leaving thousands of passengers stranded when their flights were suddenly cancelled. The company published a statement announcing the shutdown on its website this morning, being rather blunt with its customers and their flight status: “WOW AIR has ceased operation. All WOW AIR flights … Continue reading

In the olden days, when machines were brought in to replace human workers, the workers revolted—the Luddites famously rose up to smash the automated looms that had been deployed by factory owners and were erasing their livelihoods. In modern times, when machines are brought in to replace human workers, the workers…

Xiaomi didn’t launch its foldable smartphone at the Mobile World Congress last month but the company did drop a teaser to show that it’s in the game as well. As Samsung gears up to release the Galaxy Fold next month, the company has now dropped another teaser to ensure that people don’t forget it has a foldable smartphone too. What it hasn’t revealed so far is that when we can expect this device to arrive.
Xiaomi’s foldable smartphone is quite like the Huawei Mate X. It has thin and regular bezels on all sides and it’s an out-folding design which means that the screen wraps around the outside when closed. It stands out from the rest because the foldable part actually folds twice.
This teaser also shows a reasonably fluid transition from tablet to smartphone phone, something that the Royole Flexpai leaves a lot to be desired for. Even though it has released another teaser for the device, Xiaomi still hasn’t said when it’s planning to launch its foldable smartphone.
There’s also no information about what it’s actually going to be called and how much it could cost. It will be joining a reasonably crowded field which will include rivals from both Samsung and Huawei. Some other manufacturers are working on their foldable smartphones as well.
